Anthropic announced the closure of a $30 billion Series G funding round on Thursday, bringing the artificial intelligence company’s post-money valuation to $380 billion. The capital raise is the second-largest private tech financing deal on record, following a $40 billion round by rival OpenAI last year. The new valuation represents a significant increase from the $183 billion valuation the company held in September 2025.
Historical Context
Founded in 2021 by former OpenAI executives Dario and Daniela Amodei, Anthropic has positioned itself as a safety-oriented competitor with a heavy focus on enterprise clients. The company relies on cloud partnerships with Amazon and Google, which have previously invested $8 billion and $2 billion respectively, to sustain the high costs of training large-scale AI models and securing computing resources like Nvidia graphics processing units.
